a Nation of CoUarls.

"Thugisn is on the increase said an Off
GER, land there is but little fairness shown in
fights nowadays. l don't know exactly TO
what to attribute it, but it is q fact that in
ninety nine cases out of hundred where
arrests are made by the police the complain
ant or the man who gets the worst of it de-
clares that the other fellow took him unaware.
When 1 was boy if one person had ANYTHING
against another he went up to him and
'cussed him and dared him to take off his
coat and have square rough and tumble
fight Then the bystanders would form a
ring and by preventing anybody from inter
fering would see that the best man would win.
But it is different now. If a man has
anything in the way of q score to settle with
you he walks up alongside of you and hits
you on the jugular vein or over the eve with
his fist, a sandbag or pair of brass knuckles
or slungshot, and stretches you on the pave
ment. Men come into the Central station
every day and night with cut heads and faces
andsay they were knocked out without provo
cation and before they could even get in
position to defend themselves. Here is a nice
question for philosophers: Are we getting to
be nation Of towards? This kind of fight
ing certainly argues to me that we are.
Saloon keepers and their bartenders do good
deal of this one sided smuggling They usually
have billy or a soda water bottle handy, and
when man comes in drunk without money
and makes himself disagreeable, they crack
away at his head, knock him down and dag
him out to the sidewalk. A bartender said
to me last night: 4 take no chances. If
man comes in here and gets to monkeying or
makes a nuisance of himself I am not going
out from behind the bar to put him out ard
run the risk OF getting done up. 1 take
bottle and hit him once, and then have no
trouble getting rid Of him m.'n-Kansas City

Tricks in New York Barrooms.

"Some of the saloon tricks are very inge-
nious and amusing" said Broadway bar
tender. 'llost people practice them merely
for the fun of the thing, but not few exer
else their ingenuity for the sake of winning
bets. A man came in here the other night
and had some whisky. He drained the glass
containing the water and turned it upside
down on the counter. A few drops of water
remained in the glass. The man offered to
bet any one Y that he couldn't guess the
number of drops left in the glass. Several
bystanders, who thought they could count
the drops, backed their opinions. The man
covered all the bets. The guesses were all
the way from three to eight drops. When
the money was all up the man took the glass
and walked over to one of the mirrors. With
a quick, nervous movement, that made the
water scatter, he threw the contents of the
glass against the mirror. The men who
made the guesses gazed with astonishment
and disgust, for there on the surface Of the
mirror were at least 200 distinct drops of
water.
81 was once taken in myself by one Of
these tricks. A green looking fellow bought
a cigar and asked for q light He pretended
to be used to the wooden lighters, and
laughed at me when 1 pointed to the spirit
lamp and the wire shoppers. Never mind
said he. I'll light it with this and he
pulled out crisp $50 note.
'I never like to be bluffed, so dared him to
do it. III bet you bottle of wine, he re-
piled. DO you hear me speakP
EYES, said I, it's go.'
81 don't know how he rolled that bill, but
he lit his cigar without burning more than
sixteenth of an inch off the one end.
''When there's any betting going on here
now the bartender is satisfied with holding
the stakes. New York Evening Sun.

IS the shoals of young people with little ac-

The people who had advertised for painters
seemed fairly decent couple, man and his
wife, and the woman began in a deprecating
way when the Observer asked about the work
by saying the prices were not very large
She told afterward how the large firm whom
they worked for had said that the cost of the
goods must be still further reduced, and how
her husband had cut down everybody but the
painters. "He didn't see how he could make
them work any cheaper" Specimens of the

So it is. Then il dealing with it, let's
confne ourselves to the situation and
hove done with theories and theorists.
About the situation all agree. 1t is

than its expenditures, and the surplus
is growing. Of its receipts S217, 1885,
foreign goods, and $11S,S23, ,391. % is
drawn by direct taxation right out of
the peoples pockets. Now there is the
situation. and how does common sense
suggest dealing with it? Obviously the
tazes to cut off are the taxes that are
most oppressive. No one who dislikes
to pay customs duties is compelled to
do so. He can buy domestic goods al
ways cheaper and unusually better.
But it isn't possible to escape the pay
ment of direct taxes. If the Democrats
are dealing with the situation, they
will accept the Republican plan just
as they have accepted its plans hereto
fore after long periods of opposition,
and reduce the revenues in the common
sense way. They need not be bashful
about adopting their opponents policy.
They have been doing that sort of
thing for quarter of century. They
are administering the affairs of the
country to-day upon Republican poll
ties, which they bitterly oppose. Their
President is now commanding them to
reduce a surplus which has been pro-
duced by the operation Of laws which
they prophesied would result in bank

CRUSH NOT A FLOWER.

Crush not flower Of faith or hope
That in another's hear. may rise,
But let the perfumed petals ope
And waft their incense 10 the skies
Say not " It's vain" of any dream,
Or fancy Of the human brain,
For out Of it some lofty scheme
May ripen into golden grain.
Laugh not to scorn the humblest plan
brother may have formed for good,
For angels deeper see than man

Say not TO any careworn heart:
You ne'er will reach the goal you seek"
But act tho kinder, nobler part

For God is patient, and the yield,
Though rich or poor, is all his own.
